Martin & Sylvia's: Saturdays! Printable Project Page: Clothespin Dolls
In the Martin & Sylvia: Saturdays! story “A Peg Doll Party,” Sylvia discovers a bin of old wooden pegs which Momma played with when she was a girl. Momma tells her about all the dolls she made out of the wooden pegs, and then brother and sister make their own!
You can make your own out of wooden clothes pins. Here are two different kinds of clothes pins and ways you can decorate them. You can draw with colored pencils, paint with small brushes, or use crayons or markers. Yarn can be used for hair and you can even glue bits of felt or cloth for clothes!
